In response to similar legislation filed this year, SB 442, officials at the Budget and Planning
assume the photo identification requirements will result in additional costs to General Revenue.

Officials at the Department of Health and Senior Services assume Section 115.427 of the
proposed legislation requires voters to establish their identity and eligibility to vote by providing
a form of personal identification to election officials. If an individual does not possess a valid
form of personal identification, it may require them to obtain a copy of his/her certified birth
certificate to acquire a driver's or non-driver's license. For individuals whose birth has not been
recorded, it may cause them to apply for a delayed birth certificate. It is unknown and difficult to
estimate the number that might be required to apply to the Bureau of Vital Records for these
records.

The proposed legislation also requires the state to provide at least one form of identification
required to vote at no cost to any qualified citizen who does not already possess such
identification and desires to do so to vote. The proposed legislation does not appear to exempt
the Department of Health and Senior Services from collecting the necessary fees for copies of
certified birth certificates as set forth in Section 193.265.1, RSMo. The proposed legislation
could result in an unknown increase in revenue to General Revenue, the Children's Trust Fund,
the Endowed Care Cemetery Audit Fund, and the Missouri Public Health Service Fund. The
proposed legislation could also result in an unknown impact to the Bureau of Vital Records to
issue the increased demand for birth certificate records.

Officials at the Department of Revenue (DOR) assume for the purpose of the fiscal note all
costs would be appropriated from the general revenue fund. DOR assumes the administrative
impact of this proposal is as follows:

DOR assumes the nondriver license transaction fee and processing fee allowed under section
136.055 would be waived. The actual total cost of the nondriver identification ($6.00) will be
paid for by the state of Missouri which will need to be appropriated.

To determine an estimated number of potential applicants who may be eligible for a nondriver
(photo identification) at no cost, the DOR compared the voter records on file with the Secretary
of State to the current document holders on record with DOR. This comparison was completed in
March 2009. According to the Secretary of State on January 6, 2012, the 2009 numbers have not
statistically changed. The next major change is estimated to occur in 2013.

253,496Estimated number of individuals registered to vote who do not have photo
identification on file with the Department of Revenue as of March 2009.

94,823Estimated number of registered voters who may apply during subsequent fiscal
years (FY2014 and FY2015).

In addition, because the language allows a person to apply for a nondriver license at no cost by
signing an affidavit indicating they do not have a valid photographic identification document,
applicants who have held a document previously and have lost it, allowed it to expire, or other
reasons, may now obtain a nondriver license at no cost.

x 25%Estimated number of applicants with prior document on file that would utilize the

affidavit for a new, renewal or duplicate nondriver license, indicating they do not
have any other acceptable form of photographic identification for voting
purposes, making them eligible for a nondriver license at no cost to the applicant.

While the Secretary of State is responsible for notifying individuals of the requirement to obtain
photo identification for voting purposes, it is assumed that the majority of inquiries would be
directed to the DOR as the document issuing agency.

Estimating a 50% potential applicant inquiry, DOR assumes that approximately 123,622 (28,800
+ 94,823) inquiries through the central office will be received during the first implementation
year and approximately 76,200 (28,800 + 47,400) calls in subsequent years. To provide the best
call-in service for Missouri citizens DOR will need to add 5 FTE to handle the additional
telephone inquiries.

123,622Total potential applicants/inquiries first year of implementation.

Oversight has, for fiscal note purposes only, changed the starting salary for the Revenue
Processing Technician I to correspond to the second step above minimum for comparable
positions in the state’s merit system pay grid. This decision reflects a study of actual starting
salaries for new state employees over the last six months of FY 2010 and policy of the Oversight
Subcommittee of the Joint Committee on Legislative Research.

Driver License Bureau (DLB)

The proposed changes will require:

Drafting updates to web site information related to nondriver licenses for voting
purposes.

Updating office procedures.

ASSUMPTION (continued)

Development of Missouri Electronic Driver License (MEDL) system change
requirements documents to define changes to issuance periods for a no cost driver license or
nondriver license for voting and completion of end-user testing by our internal staff. This will
require overtime from existing staff in order to perform the testing. See below.

Officials at the OA- Information Technology Services Division assume DOR’s response to a
proposal similar to or identical to this one in a previous session indicated the Department planned
to absorb the administrative costs to implement the proposal. Due to budget constraints,
reduction of staff and the limitations within the Department's driver license legacy systems,
changes cannot be made without significant impact to the Department's resources and budget.
Therefore, the IT portion of the fiscal impact is estimated with a level of effort valued at $1,060.
The value of the level of effort is calculated by a Missouri Electronic Driver License CI
(MEDL-CI) (State employee) at $26.50 per hour for 40 hours.

Revenue Impact

Officials at the DOR assume the revenue impact of this proposal states "the total cost associated
with nondriver's license photo identification under this subsection shall be borne by the state of
Missouri from funds appropriated to the department of revenue for that specific purpose". This
money would have to be appropriated to the Department for distribution to the license (fee)
offices as required.

For purposes of this fiscal note the Department assumes this includes only the nondriver license
(NDL) cost under Section 302.181 and the processing fee allowed under Section 136.055 for the
license (fee) offices. Depending on the definition of 'total cost", the revenue impact could be

Officials at Lawrence County and Platte County Board of Election Commission responded to
Oversight’s request for impact but did not indicate an impact.

Officials at the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) assume this proposal requires the SOS to
provide advance notice of the personal ID documents required to vote. The advance notice
provided by the SOS must include at a "minimum the use of advertisements and public service
announcements in print, broadcast television, radio, and cable television media."

For fiscal year 2013 advance notice advertisements will be provided upon approval by the voters
of a constitutional amendment enacting section A of this proposal and prior to the April 2013
election. For fiscal year 2014 advance notice advertisements will be provided to voters prior to
the April 2014 election. For fiscal year 2015 advance notice advertisements will be provided to
voters prior to the August 2014 and November 2014 elections. For all subsequent years advance
notice advertisements will be provided to voters prior to each federal primary and general

ASSUMPTION (continued)

election.

Assumptions include:

Production of radio and TV public service announcements- $2,000

Print ad to run twice before an election- $203,284

Cable television ad to run twice everyday for eight weeks- $299,472

TV and Radio ad to run through broadcast media- $497,311

Total- $1,002,067

Upon the bill becoming effective, the SOS will send a mailer to all registered voters to notify
them of the new identification requirements at a cost of $1,756,095. A similar mailer will be
sent before the 2014 Primary Election. For all other elections, the SOS's office will send
mailings to newly registered voters prior to each election. Based on the estimated 375,680 newly
registered voters in 2010, this mailer could cost $161,542.

The photo id requirements of this bill are not limited to statewide elections but will affect every
election. The cost per fiscal year will vary based on the number of elections held. In addition to
the general municipal election each April and the primary and general elections in August and
November of even numbered years, there are additional days available for public elections in
February and in August and November of odd numbered years, which are used only as needed.

Officials from the Office of the Secretary of State (SOS) state many bills considered by the
General Assembly include provisions allowing or requiring agencies to submit rules and
regulations to implement the act. The SOS is provided with core funding to handle a certain
amount of normal activity resulting from each year’s legislative session. The fiscal impact for
this fiscal note to the SOS for Administrative Rules is less than $2,500. The SOS recognizes that
this is a small amount and does not expect that additional funding would be required to meet
these costs. However, the SOS also recognizes that many such bills may be passed by the

ASSUMPTION (continued)

General Assembly in a given year and that collectively the costs may be in excess of what the
office can sustain with the core budget. Therefore, the SOS reserves the right to request funding
for the cost of supporting administrative rules requirements should the need arise based on a
review of the finally approved bills signed by the governor.

Oversight assumes the SOS could absorb the costs of printing and distributing regulations
related to this proposal. If multiple bills pass which require the printing and distribution of
regulations at substantial costs, the SOS could request funding through the appropriation process.

Oversight assumes the notice required to be provided to citizens informing them of the personal
id requirements to vote, is to be included in the election authority’s notice they are already
required to send. Therefore Oversight assumes that provision would have no fiscal impact.

Oversight assumes this proposal requires a vote of the people to become effective. Oversight
assumes that election will be held in November 2012 at the next regularly scheduled general
election and therefore the earliest elections affected by this proposal, if passed, are in FY 2013.

Oversight assumes that since the proposal requires the State to pay the legally required fees for a
person to get a nondriver's license photo identification then general revenue will make the fee
payments to the Highway Fund, Cities and Counties. Oversight is showing the cost of the
nondriver's license fee as a cost to general revenue. The nondriver's license fee is split between
the State Highway Fund, Cities and Counties.

Oversight assumes if this proposal should be approved by the voters of Missouri, certain state
departments would realize fiscal impact. Therefore Oversight has shown the impact as "zero or
Unknown".

Oversight assumes the proposal states that "the state shall provide at least one such form of the
personal identification required to vote at no cost to any otherwise qualified citizen who does not
already possess such identification and who desires the identification in order to vote."

Oversight assumes no cost to local governments from this proposal. The legislation specifically
states that if no money is appropriated for the funding of the photo id requirement to vote that it
shall not be enforced.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION

The act establishes identification requirements for voting. Voters shall produce a non-expired
Missouri driver's license; a non-expired or non-expiring Missouri nondriver's license; any
identification containing a photograph issued by the Missouri National Guard, the United States
armed forces, or the United States Department of Veterans Affairs; or a document issued by the
United States or the state of Missouri containing the name of the voter which substantially
conforms to the most recent signature in the individual’s voter registration records, a photograph,
and an expiration date or if expired, the expiration is after the date of the most recent general
election.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION (continued)

The state shall provide at least one form of identification required to vote at no cost to the voter.
All costs incurred by the election authority associated with implementing the new identification
requirements shall be reimbursed from the general revenue upon appropriation.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
